What is the full potential of veneers?

Anyone dealing with chipped, uneven, discoloured or cracked teeth at some point has considered having veneers done to fix their smile. But what is a veneer? A veneer is a shell of either composite or ceramic material that fits over the front surface of the tooth to correct the shape, color, contour, and even the position of teeth to create a more harmonious smile. Composite resin veneers are a great option if you’re wanting to really enhance your smile on a budget. They do tend to chip and stain over time, typically needing to be replaced after five to seven years. On the other hand, ceramic veneers last 10 to 15 years. They are also stain resistant, are stronger, and look natural. They do require more preparation time, but to this day they are still the gold standard of veneers.
